LWR School Kit Supplies Needed
The supply collection box is in the narthex, along with lists of needed supplies. Please take and use the LWR list when shopping and donating, as LWR needs to guarantee uniformity and fairness to all recipients. We will collect supplies until October, when kits will be assembled and sent.
Last year generous folks helped provide enough supplies for 109 school kits from Bethany; can we make 125 kits this year with your help?

Let’s Get Together!
Saturday, August 8, at 5:30pm is the annual, not-to-be missed Bethany BBQ. Thanks to Vicki Browning we have a new, beautiful BBQ found at huge cost savings at the Rotary Auction. Please bring salads and sides (such as cheese slices, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, etc.) and your appetite. Hot dogs, burgers for both vegetarians and meat eaters, buns, and desserts will be provided. See you there!
Help Furnish the Newest Church Building in the Synod!
Columbia City Church of Hope was founded in 2017 and just completed their church building alongside the 87 affordable housing units that were built first. Theirs is the first new church building in decades in our synod, however they still need help furnishing the inside. CCCH is part of our South-Central Conference, and we want to donate a gift to them from Bethany to help them purchase, chairs, lights, cabinets, kitchen supplies, and other things they need. If you would like to help with this, please give using one of the envelops in the narthex or online at bethanyofbainbridge.org.
Please indicate, “Columbia City Church of Hope” in your gift. If you want to know a little more about CCCH, visit their website at: columbiacityhope.org. Thank you.
Donations for Helpline Red Wagon!
Please bring your non-perishable food as well as cleaning and personal care products. These last two categories are not part of SNAP benefits but are important to us all in daily life. Next Red Wagon Sunday is August 2.
